Security Requirements. Ex-Im Bank will determine whether the security for a specific large aircraft transaction will be a sovereign

require that a valid and enforceable lien be placed on the aircraft to be financed. The information listed below concerning registration

pertaining to registration and mortgages have been amended. Please contact the Transportation Division to determine if such
experience exists. Supplemental information on these issues may be required during the processing of the application and Ex-Im Bank
may ask the applicant to pay for outside counsel or consultants selected by Ex-Im Bank to research particular issues. Include with the
application any additional information that may facilitate Ex-Im Bank's determination of security.
